Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module, students should be able to:
1. Realize the limitations and strengths of computational systems.
2. Decompose simple computational problems.
3. Develop solutions to those computational problems.
4. Understand and apply essential programming aspects to the developed solutions.
Aims
This module is designed to support students who come to University with no programming experience or very weak in programming.
Brief description
This module focuses in designing solutions to simple computational problems by applying essential programming concepts. These solutions will be described algorithmically by either or both of, plain English and pseudo-code.
Content
- online quiz,
- a set of text based exercises;
- or programming exercises.
The problems discussed in the classes will be related to the following computational concepts:
- Algorithms, and compilation vs. interpretation
- Variables and debugging
- Functions
- Manipulating text
- Selection
- Modularity
- Lists
- Iteration
Efforts will be made to establish a parallel between the programming language being used in the module and in CC12020 and CS12020.
